IndyKids Centerspread

Lately I've been doing the center spreads for a free NYC children's newspaper called IndyKids. This piece is about children with disabilities and how they are able to do a lot of things despite their disability. Below that is another spot illo for the same page.

In other news: I'm back from tour with my band! It was so much fun. I didn't have a computer for almost 2 weeks or internet ( sometimes I got to check my email on an iphone). I planned on drawing on the off time but it was back to back shows and driving place to place, so, no time! But, I'll post up some recent doodles tomorrow from my post-tour chillout time here in Vermont. Today we went to a swimming hole and drove through the beautiful country-side and I made a lil' comic about it. Sooooooooooooo nice.

More stuff later!

Love!

INDY KIDS EDITORIAL

Here is part of an editorial I did for INDYKIDS in NYC. The one above is the final version. Below was my first submission but they felt that the princess looked too meek. They wanted her to be a little tougher. So, I recycled the prince by putting his boots on her, turned her dress into pants, made her look angrier and bent her arms ever so slightly so the sword pointed more toward the dragon - all without having to redraw or rescan, just by manipulating, cutting and pasting my original pencil drawing here and there in photoshop. Fun.
